Title: Improvements in Electrical Starters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HARTFORD EDWARD VASSALLO
Filed: 1913-08-28
Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 19,524. Hartford, E. V. Aug. 28. Turning-gear.-In electric starters in which a motor 1, Fig. 1, runs up a fly-wheel 3, which is then coupled to the engine by a friction clutch, one part 4 of this clutch is keyed on to a worm shaft 17, which drives the engine shaft through the worm-wheel 20. The clutch part 4 is moved into contact with the friction surface 5 on the flywheel by a rod 8 which passes through the worm shaft and acts on the part 4 through balls 12 held between two collars 10, 11. The end of the rod 8 is attached to a lever 14, which is moved either by a solenoid, or from a band or foot lever. In the latter case, the band-lever is connected through a spring to a switch blade for closing the motor circuit. The blade is connected to a bell-crank, one arm of which is opposite the end of the lever 14. The switch is closed first, and continued movement of the hand-lever moves the lever 14 and rod 8. In a modification, the hand-lever acts through a cord 59, Fig. 4, and spring 60 on a bell-crank 42 connected through stirrups and a spring to a pivoted switch blade 35, normally held in the open position by a spring 41 coiled round the pivot of the blade. The lower end 55 of the bell-crank carries a pivoted cam-piece 56 which, in the forward movement of the bell-crank, abuts against a projection 56<a> on a spring 57. The first movement of the cord 59 closes the switch ; the movement is then arrested for a time by the projection 56<a>, which results in a sharp blow on a spring-pressed rod 62 when the cam depresses the spring 57. The rod 62 works the clutch rod through the lever 65. The cam allows the bell-crank to return easily.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Gears.
IPC: F16H61/64
Filed: 1913-10-08
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 22,751. Vulcan-werke Hamburg und Stettin Akt.-Ges. Aug. 11, [Convention date]. S p e e d - v a r y i n g mechanism. - T h e return p u m p of hydraulic gears, particularly those of the "F÷ttinger" type, are automatically regulated according to the pressure in the hydraulic system. The reverse circuit 5 and the forward circuit 6 are shown connected to the cylinder 1. This cylinder contains two pistons 2, 3 acted upon by two springs 7, 8 and by the pressure in the two systems. The rod carrying the pistons carries also the nozzle valve 4 controlling the passage of fluid to the motor 9 of the return pump 10. When the gear is changed from forward to reversed running for example, the circuit 6 is emptied, causing the pressure above the piston 3 to fall. The valve 4 is fully opened, and the delivery from the pump 10 is increased to such an extent that the reverse circuit is quickly filled. In order to render the complete filling of the circuit certain, it may be arranged that the maximum output is obtained from the return pump even after the normal pressure has been re-established above the piston 2. This is obtained by retarding the commencement of the closing movement of the valve 4, as by spring-loaded throttling - valves 11, 12.

Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SALOMON ALBERT JOSEPH
Filed: 1913-10-25
Granted: 1914-10-15
Abstract: 8860. Salomon, A. J. Oct. 25, 1913. Spray carburettors.-A spray carburettor is combined with a surface carburettor consisting of a piece of gauze or the like on to which there is a continuous drip of a predetermined amount of petrol from an orifice below the fuel level. With increase of speed, the richness of the mixture from the spray carburettor increases while that from the surface carburettor decreases, and vice versa. The casing a has an air-inlet at n, d and an outlet at a<1>. The conduit h from the float-chamber supplies the spraying-nozzle j and the nozzle i from which petrol drips-on to the gauze cone m. A sliding valve e<1>. has a mixture-control portion e, and an air control portion e<2> which works in conjunction with a. choke-tube g. This choke-tube has a parallel portion g' the function of which is to facilitate starting and slow running by preventing air from passing outside the choke tube until a rod f carried by the throttle valve allows fuel to flow to the drip nozzle i. At a certain speed, no petrol drips from the nozzle i, and if this speed is increased air passes into the nozzle i and reduces the amount of petrol issuing from the nozzle j. The choke-tube g may have its walls curved, or the outside may be parallel in which case the portion e' of the throttle is tapered inside with a parallel portion at the top. In a modification, the enlarged portion c of the casing extends only partly around the carburettor wall, and the part e<2> of the throttle is cut away. In a further modification, the hole i<2> leading to the nozzle i is dispensed with, the fuel supply being controlled by a rod connected to the throttle with some lost motion and actuated by the throttle through a spring. In another modification, the whole of the parts rotate instead of slide. The fuel supply to the nozzle j may be controlled by tapering the rod f, or the supply to either the nozzles j or i may be controlled by a rotatable plug having a triangular groove working in conjunction with a narrow slot. Instead of all the air entering at the base of the carburettor, extra air may be admitted at the side and controlled by the portion e<2> of the throttle.
